Just found it last night. Watched seven episodes. It's cancellation is much worse than even 'Firefly.' AStarkRedDeath said so many things that are spot on, I won't repeat. Suffice it to say, I'll be aboard any ship that sails toward Rubicon's revival.The actors are, for the most part, lesser know, but they are at the top of their craft here. The writing is thoughtful, insightful, and quite realistic to my own experiences. A few of the lines and scenes are absolutely perfect.Note: I do NOT usually take time to comment on such things, but Rubicon is worthy.Thank you for the opportunity to praise this series. And thanks to all the thoughtful comment providers. Would that my praise were as well-given as yours.

This show was recommended by friends. For the love of a good spy thriller, conspiracy story and any type of detective show, I was in! After the first couple episodes, I was not drawn in like I wanted to be, but kept on with it. It is after all, only one season. (and now I know why.) About half way though the season, I couldn't believe they had "given away" so much information, I thought the finale would be a for sure spitfire.Although throughout the series, I could tell who was to trust and who not to trust. I knew there was something fishy with that artist girl, we all know the government has secrets, so what was the catch here? Certain characters, like Tanya for example, annoyed me to no end. There was so much focus on her, I figured she was in on something too and that's why she turned to drugs. No. she's just a drug addict who is confused and misguided.... how the hell did she get that job anyway? you have two phD's?? doubt that.The four leaf clover? Connect the dots? Terrorism? Nothing in the end was resolved and that's what made me dislike this entire season. Don't waste your time unless you are knew to spy thrillers. The Brits do it better in less amount of time.

this show won't get renewed so i keep it short.this could have been so much but it failed short on the action, so it felt short on the ratings ...imagine three days of the condor without any deaths... are you done? OK, so this is rubicon. watch it, if you like to think about what is going on and don't if you need someone to tell you what is going on. it is that easy. this is what three days of a condor was past watergate bur for the 9/11 generation. maybe it was to close to the truth, maybe the ratings were to bad, we will never know. only watch it if you don't need an ending, else re watch three days of the condor.

I went into this show feeling like I must be its core audience. I was engaged with The Cryptonomicon, and my love for math and the eccentric has made me feel like cryptography is some beautiful land that I haven't achieved.I've had many occasions where my patience has been rewarded, and when every friend I have has left the room to seek out something more exciting, I sit alone, taking in the whole of the movie, and feeling a real emotion for it.That said, having watched the full season of Rubicon, I'm disappointed. It feels more like watching a cluster of conspiracy fear mongers running the show, and the illustrations of the characters as so 2-dimensional may be what drives me away. They may seem like real people, but I prefer to hope that people in our daily lives aren't that simple.The scenery is amazing, and the underlying plot is fantastic, with the show filled with nuances. But when a subtlety appears, the writers feel a need to smash the viewer over the head instead of letting them figure things out, because the viewer isn't expected to keep mental pace with the characters, and instead let all the work be done for them.The acting is atrocious, many of the cast fail to exhibit emotion, and the script feels weak.
